Geography of Worship

Poem
A brush of breath,
draws salt on skin—
a map not made for others' eyes.

Tongue becomes compass,
plotting warm constellations
along the swell of geography
no cartographer could name.

Each curve, a coastline.
Each pulse, a tide—
I chase the pull of gravity
down to the marrow of want.

This is worship.
Not lust—
in a chapel
with no ceiling.
